My daughter Kennedi’s leg surgery

My name is Ivan Gomez, and I created this fundraiser because my daughter Kennedi who is 3 1/2 is having surgery sooner then expected (March 30th) on her leg due to her being born with NF type one, and congenital deformity of the tibia. We knew it would be something that we would have to take care of in the future, but it came sooner then we were hoping. Due to how bad her leg has bowed/gotten, and it hurting her more and more. She can’t walk on it even with a leg brace anymore or even do normal everyday things. Due to the pain and discomfort. Everyday it increases the potential risk of breaking naturally (which depending how it were to break could cause more issues down the road and worse case scenario would be amputation) vs what the operation plans on doing… Which is making a precise/efficient break and taking some bone from her pelvis to replace the bad bone, along with a implanted rod in her leg for support as well.

Long story short this wasn’t something we were expecting to take place so soon but my baby girl NEEDS this ASAP... any donation is forever and greatly appreciated. Your assistance helps with the screening, part of the operation, physical therapy, any equipment needed after surgery, where we will be staying at for a couple weeks, and the necessities we will need while there, etc.
Dr. Paley who specializes in this particular surgery, which is based out in Florida is who will be performing the surgery. Thank you for your support and again from the bottom of our hearts, forever thankful for it. Means more than we could put into words. Prayers that all goes well and as planned, very much appreciated. We just want her to be healthy and happy like all kids deserve.
